Founded by Don and Lynn Blakeman with a modest $5,000, the family business has grown under the leadership of their son, Ben Blakeman.
A report in The Scout Guide notes that the new pop-up, created by Arkansas designers Anna E. Cottrell and Alex Bodishbaugh King, allows visitors to explore the company's heritage and future directions.
Per the report, the space includes a specialized "pro-shop" featuring Blakeman's branded merchandise and a cash wrap reminiscent of a speakeasy, enhanced by dynamic green accents.
Ben also discussed the company's evolution from its first location at the Fayetteville mall to its long-standing spot in Pinnacle Hills during an interview on The ScoutCast.
